EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful print captures the essence of the First World War, depicting the facade of war as a triumphant sculpture directed by Germany. However, beneath this deceptive decor lies a grim reality - a battlefield where soldiers' bodies lie under fire and in blood. The drawing, created by H. Lanos for the cover of Le Lire Rouge in December 1915, portrays the harsh truth behind the glorified image of war. The German-controlled guns symbolize their dominance and control over the conflict, while simultaneously serving as a smokescreen to hide the devastating consequences faced by those on the front lines. The artist's use of caricature and engraving techniques adds depth to this haunting depiction. The French cannon and airship balloon further emphasize that this is not just any battle but one fought between nations. It serves as a reminder that war knows no boundaries or limits when it comes to destruction. As we gaze upon this artwork from our present perspective, it offers us an opportunity to reflect on the sacrifices made during this tumultuous period in history. It reminds us that beyond political ideologies and nationalistic fervor are real individuals who paid with their lives. Leonard de Selva's preservation of this historical piece allows us to delve into its profound message once again. Through art like this, we can strive for peace and understanding amidst humanity's darkest moments.
